About This Blog

I started this blog because the tabs on the Lucero message board kept getting lost when they switched sites. A blog isn't a perfect forum for guitar tabs and chords, but it now has posts for all but a handful of their songs. And, to the best of my knowledge, this is the only source for Lucero tabs that has been endorsed by an actual Lucero guitarist. Accept no substitutes.

Thank you to the folks who have sent me submissions, suggestions, and corrections. Thanks also to anyone who posted a tab on the luceromusic.com boards. You can find me there posting as Boston Twang. You can also email me at lucerotabs@gmail. Submissions and/or corrections are greatly appreciated.

Apparently, this song missed the cut for 1372 Overton Park. Pity. Luckily, they decided to give the demo away as a freebie for Lucero Social Club members. And NineBullets.net decided to pass it on to everyone. So if you haven't heard it, for now at least, you can download it here. (By the way, Nine Bulets is almost definitely the best MP3 blog for Lucero-esque music. If you're not visiting, you should be.) One more thing: on the fall 2009 tour, Ben's been playing this a little differently. I haven't bothered to work it out, but it sounds like he switched up the chorus chords. I decided to stick with this version because most people will end up with the demo and be trying to play it like that.

Verse:

GA hundred miles on the other side of lonesomeEm7A hundred miles past anything called fairD____________________________Cadd9Ain't no need to question my devotionG________________________D______________GFor the girl I love, all burdens will I bear

Chorus:

GOh sweet Mary, where'd you goEm7Kissed you lips just days agoD___________________________________Cadd9Now it seems I'm still here wasting timeGA hundred miles of empty roadEm7Worn out hearts and teeth of goldD___________________________________Cadd9Feel like I could just lay down and dieG____________________________________DOn the other side of lonesome Dogtown nights__________Em7________________________Cadd9There's a girl that I cannot leave behindG____________________________________DOn the other side of lonesome Dogtown nights__________Em7_______________________Cadd9There's a girl waiting for me by and by

Verse 2A hundred miles on the other side of lonesomeA hundred miles past any kind of planAll I know is I could drink and oceanOf whiskey if I can't see her again

Chorus

GI guess I'll sit awhileDI just covered a hundred milesEm7____________________________________Cadd9Think I'll sit right here and drink my fillGYesterday's gone with the windDTomorrow's on its way againEm7_____________________________Cadd9Figure it'll bring just what it will
